Looking At Scripts

Today we began to analyze what makes a good script and what doesn't.

Here are what we went through:

Looking at a plot and subplot
What's plot and what's sub plot?
Plot- Goal/Purpose
Subplot- small stories running parallel.

A1---2---3--B -> this is known as the highway mindmap

3 Act Structure
Act I : Ask Question
Act II: Answer Question
Act III: Resolve Issue.

Life lessons- All stories are character driven.
Stereotype- localized to cultural conditioning
Archetype- universal character recognized in any culture.
